We just released a brand new mobile interface for Buxfer, which provides offline access to your data with the help of Google Gears for mobile. So you can access Buxfer from your mobile device even when you are not connected to the internet! If you are always on the go, and hate to go online just to check your bank balance, then this is just what you have been looking for. Just point your browser to:

Google Gears is an open source browser extension that enables web applications to provide offline functionality. Today, Google released a version of Google Gears for the Windows Mobile platform, and we are glad to launch our offline mobile app in collaboration with Google. Support for more mobile platforms is in the works.

In online mode, the mobile interface lets you access your bank account balances, transactions, and analysis charts. You can add/edit accounts, transactions or tags. You can even synchronize your bank accounts right from your cellphone! More features should be coming your way shortly …

In offline mode, you can access all the above features in a read-only mode. You won’t be able to add new transactions or edit your tags, but you can still view your account balances, recent transactions and analysis charts.

Folks, things are back to normal. Buxfer users can once again use Twitter to report transactions and receive alerts. More details about our Twitter integration are at

Kudos to the Twitter team for listening to our problem and resolving it in a very reasonable time-frame!

Add bux as your friend on Twitter, and you can start talking to Buxfer by sending direct messages. Oh, and you can get reminders via Twitter too.

Why is this cool?

• US and Canada users can now send SMS to short-codes. 40404 for US, and 21212 for Canada.
• All international users can now receive alerts on their mobile devices. Just make sure you register and verify your device with Twitter.

Kudos to the Twitter folks for opening up such a cool service. Hope you guys will enjoy it as well.

That’s right! You can report transactions and find out balances by sending an email to a secret email address (shhhh…). To get your personal secret email address, log-on to Buxfer and click ‘Settings’. Then start interacting with Buxfer via e-mail, using any device and from anywhere — all in real-time. No need to verify your device!
